Introducing... Chris Symons - Deputy CEO
I started with the Tasmanian Hospitality Association on Monday 3rd December and look forward to working with all our members and corporate partners to deliver the best outcomes possible. I do have some limited experience working in hospitality venues but most of my work experience comes from management roles in Education
Services, Department of Education, TasTAFE and UTAS. Most recently I was the Tasmanian Manager for Goodstart Early Learning as well as being part of the Victorian leadership team and delivering training for Goodstart around the country. I have been the President of the associations foundation THAT for the past four years and look forward to further growing this part of our business and continuing to work with the industry to provide a positive influence on children and families within our community. After two weeks I think it is a very exciting time for our industry and I look forward to providing additional benefits for our members and corporates in 2019 and beyond as we introduce many of the initiatives that we have within our strategic plan. Some of my immediate focuses will be improving our systems and processes so that members and corporates get the best value possible from the association, increasing the value adds for members, creating a talent pipeline for the industry and providing better connections between the association, our members and corporates.
Outside of work I have a passion for sport in particular basketball, AFL and cricket but can find time to talk about most sports. Basketball is my main sport and I have been fortunate over the last 30 years to have coached at a club, regional, state and national level which has provided many highlights and lifelong friends.
